Leaf and Tree

This piece was inspired by Legolas' Song for The Two Towers when Gladerial warns him to stay away form the sea.

Little emerald leaf and little auburn branch Connected to a larger one The larger one supported me And cared for me throughout it all Through the crystal tears when they brought her home And how distant he was from all From the tinkling laughter of my little voice When I was lifted high above you almost touching the stars You were always there for me and I for you But now another has claimed my heart 'Tis the sea, wild and true Nevermore shall I walk unburdened 'Neath your leafy bosom For now I shall walk on crystal sands And head to the melody of the sea.
